I had a 1973 365 GTB Daytona Ferrari, a red convertible, I still dream about it. Single, living on the beach in Playa del Rey, Ca. Business owner...was the car a chick magnet? Uh, yeah, it was, even with me driving it! Said to beat Michael Hoffman to the punch!

This ain't mine, but it is a pic of the "coolest" vehicle I ever owned: a 1968 GTO in the then avant garde color of avocodo green: (Saw that year and model recently; it was then a "mid-size"; today it seems HUGE!)

Funny, I can't really think of an answer to your question. The cars (and trucks) I really like are ones that I was either too young or not enough of a gearhead to notice when they first came out.

I'm just asking what "snapped your neck" when it first whizzed by. For me, it was an XKE on the corner of S. Wade and E. Beau in Washington, PA. I thought the freaking aliens had landed and disguised their rocker as a car!

1969 Pontiac Tempest purchased brand new for $3,000. It was a light metallic green and oxidized something awful. It was also a lemon having 3 different engines in it the five years I owned it which is why I had it painted yellow.

Mar, you reminded me of prices. Mt 1968 GTO was $3,200 brand new. And a four-function Monroe Calculator then cost $1,200! (They were half the size of a Sampsonite attache case and also did square roots!).

I remember sitting around back then with fellow engineers talking about the unlikelyhood that a hand-held calculator would ever cost less than $100.00. Idiots, everyone of us.

How about the fact that an i-Phone has more computing power than the Apollo Program? Or 60" flat screens < $1,000!

In 1993 I was the "go-to" place to watch the game with my state-of-the-art $1,700 35" CRT Mitsubishi TV! Finally set it on the curb (took a hand truck; damn, it was heavy) a few years back and the neighbor kid snagged it for his video games. It was on the curb again last week!
